Motivational Letter

Dear Friends, Dear Colleagues,

Although I am not a man who considers writing this letter as an easy and lightly task, I would like to in short explain my biggest

motivation to become the upcoming IFMSA President and present reasons why I want to undertake this journey and I would feel

honored to represent this family - that bring all of us together.

As many of you may know, my name is Agostinho Moreira de Sousa and I come from a small city of Lixa in North Portugal. I was born

and raised in a loving family that supported me in every step to become the person I am and be where I am today. I come from a

country that faces a deep financial crisis and where the students’ voice is ever more difficult to be heard. However, the IFMSA

experience has brought me to the conclusion that youths in all corners of the world are facing similar challenges and that our

points/problems are not so different.

And all it started at local level...

Back in 2006, when I started my studies as a dental student I felt the need to

give voice to my fellow colleagues and became a student representative. The

following year, I changed to Medicine and I was more focused on my studies.

However, after noticing and addressing challenges, beginner mistakes and

victories, I was entrusted by my classmates to become the student

representative for the batch. In 2009, I was recruited to bring new spirit and

lead the Education Working Group of my Local Committee.

Continuously, I was working on bettering education conditions for all the

students of my Institute (Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Aquatic Sciences,

Biochemistry and Bioengineering). In June 2011, I was elected to serve as the

President, a term that taught me a lot (as the organization matched IFMSA


2014/2015

yearly budget and I was in charge of a team of 43 people), as I had to fight for the

integrity of the education system and transparency of student organizations - both

politically and financially. The most important fight of all was to ensure to give

students a voice in an honest and transparent way.

The work at national level

More than several times I was faced with the word “impossible” and “that will not

happen”, but this only motivated me to do more and try harder. In cooperation with my

NMO and other Local Presidents, we created innovative actions - from helping students

come together to fight for their rights and access to education in front of the Ministry of

Education; strongly advocate for quality over quantity in the process of opening and

certifying of new medical schools; to the creation of national petitions to advocate with

the public and the government on the importance of correct Human Resources Planning.

We should never forget that we are limited only by the limitations we have put there

ourselves!

My first international experiences

In 2010, my life took a huge turn after I’ve undertaken a research exchange in

Ljubljana, Slovenia. Until then, I’ve only had a limited view of what IFMSA is and did

not understand it completely. But after this intercultural experience, my perspective

and view of the world changed as now I had a new understanding of the IFMSA

potential. Looking back, the whole process came so naturally and I was not aware of

the change. My first international meeting was the MM11 in Jakarta, Indonesia. I still

remember the first hours in the meeting, feeling a part of the community of students

from all the corners of the world, working with the same purpose. That General

Assembly changed my life. True IFMSA spirit was born in me there and then.


2014/2015

Working at International level

Several General Assemblies, Regional Meetings and trainings later, I became

more sensitized, aware and educated by the experiences on all levels from

grassroots to international, on different points of views and difficulties that

affect medical students and the struggles they face in order to improve the

health of their communities.

After being elected your Liaison Officer for Medical Education Issues in August

2012 in India, a lot has happened! I worked and continue working in

collaboration with teams of amazing and dedicated students working on

Medical Education on disseminating lessons learned to lower and bringing

initiatives forwards to the higher levels ensuring a global impact.

Scope of my work varied, from addressing the importance of recognition of the

Non-Formal Education, to recognition and endorsement of IFMSA exchanges, to

ensuring meaningful student engagement in the processes of accreditation of

Medical Schools. Last year I was an intern with the WHO in Geneva and WMA in

Ferney, during which I strived to demonstrate how an IFMSA member can

contribute to daily operations of these organizations as well bring the youth

perspective, which ultimately benefits all.

In both terms, I was also diligent in attending Team of Officials meetings, external

high-level and executive meetings and took part in several working groups (e.g.

SWG on the Advocacy Support Division Director or the Santiago Task Force),

contributing to strengthening of IFMSA (particularly focusing on team-work and

internal development of the organization).


2014/2015

In my point of view, the work of the President is a fine balance between internal and external work. I want to become a president

focused on leading my team, where I can support the TO and work more directly with the LOs on external representation. Task at

hand is a full time job, but I am prepared to dedicate one more year to IFMSA.

Where did we came from and where we are right now

IFMSA is a long living organization.

During the internship at the WMA, I also had the opportunity to

engage in one of the most fruitful life experiences - through

archives to engage with IFMSA past and work on the re-birth of

the IFMSA Institutional Memory. Created few years after the II

World War in 1951, in a world where communication was difficult,

where commitment and believes where the engine of the

organization, where the idea of creating a global exchange

programme was still a hope, where the fight for better education

and students’ health was a necessity (and still is) - IFMSA resisted

and became one of the most fascinating and amazing

organizations in the world. IFMSA witnessed the Cuban Missile

Crisis, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the discovery of the double-helix

DNA Structure, the Moon landing, the birth of Internet. IFMSA is

an old and a young organization. With many accomplishments,

adversities tackled and changed lives of future physicians!

For two consecutive terms, I was entrust with the responsibility of representing and improving our Federation. If elected IFMSA

President, I will strive to take it a step further and strengthen this organization. To chart a path to achieve its full potential. We must

aim to have an IFMSA that is inclusive and everyone’s feels involved, and I want to be a President that supports all the medical

students! Perfection is impossible, but we must strive and work hard trying to come as close to achieving it. This is my vision!


2014/2015

We are a community that reaches millions of people worldwide, every day.

We have one of the biggest exchanges programmes in the world,

hundreds of activities internationally and numerous activities nationally

and locally.

We have to see IFMSA as a holistic organization and not literally divided in

disconnected Standing Committees, Support Divisions and regional work.

We have to see IFMSA was an organization that can bring the different

nations and cultures together in the same platform. We have to see IFMSA

as an organization that with this collaborative work can make a difference

and change the world.

We must work to improve on the idea that IFMSA must work in a collaborative

way, between Standing Committees, where they will work on common,

crosscutting topics. They will be supported by the Support Divisions in their daily

work. We must want to see more collaboration between regions and create a spirit

of mutual collaboration and understanding and not a spirit based in dogmas and

stereotypes.

I also undertake the promise that I will work with the EB and TO as a team, since I

understand the importance of having a strong “nucleus” that can coordinate and

support all the organization. The organization can only grow if its leadership is

stable and working together for the same vision and mission.


2014/2015

To a prosperous and promising future!

As all the families, we have challenges, but if we stay together and work together, anything is possible!

We want IFMSA to become what we want it to be!

We want to see an IFMSA that is open to the medical students worldwide, where they can see an organization full of opportunities!

We want to build a bridge between the past and the present of IFMSA, where we know our defeats and big victories so we can build a

better future together!

We want the NMOs to feel that IFMSA belongs to everyone!

We want the medical students to feel inspired by IFMSA and feel that its actions affect their daily basis!

We want to bring sustainability to this organization and to improve the trust between all of us!

We want an organization that works for the improvement of health and the development of Mankind!

I kindly request you entrust me this responsibility and lead IFMSA to this change and greater future!

Let’s take this step forward, together!

Truly Yours,

Agostinho Sousa

5. A Concrete Holistic Plan for Health

6. Professionalism and Integrity

7. The Need of Transparency and Openness

8. The Importance of Teamwork

9. A Concrete Internal and External Strategy

10. Experience and Institutional Memory


2014/2015

1. Respect and Empower the Diverse Culture of IFMSA a. Create a culture where everyone feels respected, heard and empower inside IFMSA, by establish an open communication

with NMO Presidents during the General Assemblies and Regional Meetings, or anytime it is requested by an NMO

President. This will require also a close collaboration with the VPI and Regional Coordinators

b. Improve the knowledge about the external representation of IFMSA, by providing “essential “ materials and a

comprehensive view about the present externals and policy statements of IFMSA

c. Create also a culture, where is NMOs voice openly their views during IFMSA meetings

d. Create a webinar every two months to explain the ongoing work of the Federation

e. Continue and support the recruitment of NMOs, mainly from the Asia-Pacific and African Region, in collaboration with the

VPI and Regional Coordinators

f. Create a culture in the TO, of volunteering to give a workshop/training/information if the official is in a different country

and there is the possibility to provide that

g. Improve the availability of IFMSA resources to the NMOs and continue with the idea of the present EB of proceeding to

the translation of some important documents (e.g. Policy Statements)

h. Integrate the external representation with the necessities of the NMOs and regions

i. Improve the discussions and the role of the regional meetings and study a deeper regionalization of IFMSA, in accordance

to previous recommendations and NMO input

j. Reinforce the idea that IFMSA also exists for its students, that work in the daily basis for the improvement of health

worldwide

k. Improve the recognition of the best practices in IFMSA by mechanisms of positive reinforcement, in order to recognize

their involvement in IFMSA

l. Evaluate the usage of the NMO Buddy-System after the present term and search for other ways of direct involvement

NMO-TO

m. Implementation of an “umbrella” environment (with the help of IFMSA Master Folder) , where the information can be

centralized with the help of the Team of Officials (e.g. if some specific document is required and requested by one NMO to

other NMOs, IFMSA can help in the collection of the materials and save them in a place available to all).


2014/2015

2. Ensure the Sustainability and Strengthening of IFMSA a. Reinforce the support to the IFMSA Office in the AMC (Amsterdam- The Netherlands) by providing a permanent

secretariat to that office (in accordance to the IFMSA financial situation)

b. Reinforce the presence in the IFMSA office at the WMA (Ferney-France), by continuing the successful internship

program and re-study the idea of renting an apartment that can support the interns in Ferney and Geneva (idea that

already worked in the past but was abandoned due to bad management in that last year).

c. Work in close collaboration with the VPE and the Treasurer about the financial situation of IFMSA and follow-up closely

the grant requests and grant reporting (major problem in the recent IFMSA history). It is needed to create a document

that summarizes all the successful applications and financial mismanagement, in order to avoid future mistakes.

d. Work to create a sustainable image of IFMSA, in order to search for big sources of funding, at short and long term.

However, it is needed to continue the work of the present EB, in order to ensure proper reporting and accountability

e. Work in a closer collaboration with the organizing committees of IFMSA events (e.g. General Assemblies), in order to

guarantee its success and sustainability, in order to avoid any NMO or IFMSA financial burden (proper risk assessment

of the activity). There is also the need to oversee the complete respect of the GA contract

f. Follow-up the present EB’s work in the creation of the long-term fundraising strategy and the creation of the ethical

guidelines

g. Follow-up the recommendations of the Santiago Task Force and help in the implementation of the decision approved

by the General Assembly

3. From Global to Local and from Local to Global a. Make sure that the actions provided by the federation at a global level will have a proper impact at national and local

level

b. Reinforce the idea that IFMSA represents the voice of medical students worldwide and the responsibility inherent to it

c. Create an approximation with the Local Committees, with the collaboration of NMOs, in order to be possible to create

of direct impact projects or surveys. (E.g. the creation of a global survey in a specific area, where the action of LC will be

fundamental. The results then will be presented at a global level and create an impact back in the local area)


2014/2015

4. An Holistic View for the Federation, in order to Achieve Excellence a. Improve the holistic perspective of the organizations, by incentive the inter-standing committee collaboration (e.g.

academic recognition of exchanges – SCOME, SCOPE and SCORE)

b. Improve the interconnection of the Standing Committees with the Support divisions and avoid the collision of tasks

between both

c. Improve the work of the Regional Teams, by providing them support and bigger recognition inside the IFMSA

structure

d. Support the idea of the global support of the Liaison Officers for all the Standing Committees (e.g. collaboration of

Liaison Officer for Medical Education, with the SCOME, SCORE and SCOPE directors in the recognition of IFMSA

exchanges in externals related to medical education)

e. Create the feeling that all the IFMSA structure is working for the same goals and not to work in isolation from each

other

5. A Comprehensive Plan for Health

Very often, I was faced in high level meetings with a challenge: I was the only representative from a voluntary student and youth

organization that represents the future of a healthcare generation. This is a huge opportunity, but it is also a big responsibility.

IFMSA is one of the few global organizations that work in direct collaboration with Governmental Organizations, NGOs, professional

organizations, student organizations and many other organizations. But there is something unique. We are one of the few global

organizations that are volunteer based, representing a generation of students and youth, that one day will became part of the future

of healthcare. This universal presence and uniqueness gives us an advantage that no other organization can have. Our vision and our

strength, if well planned can literally change the world.

With this responsibility on our shoulders, we need to start thinking in a comprehensive frame to have a plan for health and stop

addressing the health topics in different “silos”. We need to create our view for Health and how to improve health at local level.

Human Resources for Health cannot be discussed, without integrating Social Determinants for Health. Global Health Education cannot

be taught if we don’t address the violation of human rights and so on.

So, it is fundamental for IFMSA to create a holistic plan, where the major policies and positions are addressed. Our vision for health!


2014/2015

This is a big idea, but this will allow us to have an integrated perspective on how the system works. This will require a collaborative

work between NMOs, Standing Committees, Regional Coordinators, Liaison Officers and Initiative Coordinators, in order to connect

also the advocacy and project works of IFMSA.

It is a challenge, but by establishing the correct partnerships with our networking and the motivation of our members, we can have

the perspective of IFMSA about all this holistic perspective and where should we be leading health!

6. Professionalism and Integrity a. Improve the professionalism of IFMSA, in order to improve its credibility, trust and accountability of its members

b. Implement a system of role model leadership, where to demand something you have to serve as an example also

c. Improve the reporting, monitoring and evaluations mechanisms, in order to obtain clear views on the results about our

actions (IFMSA activities, grants). The concrete templates for the implementation of this system, must be ready before

the starting of the term

d. Continue the work of the present TO in the creation of standardized reports.

e. Creation of IOG, in collaboration with the TO, that will allow guidance in specific situations (examples: external

representation, regional meetings, general assemblies, etc.)

f. Creation of standardized evaluation mechanisms, where it would be possible to reply in an anonymous way, but it is

still possible to follow up who didn’t reply and send reminders

g. Ensure that the Annual Report is created and with excellent quality

h. Push forward the implementation of quality assurance in trainings and projects, in order to achieve recognition by

externals and even in the medical education curricula. This area requires a joint effort with the TSDD and PSDD.

i. Define during the handover period, the responsibility of the officials (being now analyzed by the Santiago Task Force),

in order to make them accountable to their tasks and solve the problem of absent Officials

j. Oversee during the transition period, in collaboration with the current EB, the production of the handover manual

k. Make sure we invite the best speakers to our sessions and provide the best materials on time, in order to provide better

preparation to our member

l. Follow-up the implementation of the idea of branding the IFMSA Projects and Activities


2014/2015

7. The Need of Transparency and Openness a. All the internships, delegations and SWGs opportunities must be shared in the website, mailing lists and social media

platforms, in static and dynamic platforms, in order to be available to all medical students

b. A specific criteria of selection for the delegations or internships must be defined and take in consideration the

achievement of the most equitable representation of IFMSA

c. To provide more opportunities for every IFMSA member to apply, so that they will not be limited just to a certain

group of students

d. Follow-up in the reform of the Travel Assistance Fund (TAF) in order to assign it to where it is most needed.

e. Create a working plan I order to provide the proper financial support to medical students in the future, so his/her

presence will not be limited by the financial situation, but only by him/her competences and ideals

f. To improve the on-line communication with IFMSA members, by promoting the usage of online tools and creation of

video updates

g. Ensure the equitable visibility of the NMOs in the different IFMSA Platforms

h. Make sure that the decision making process and communications of IFMSA are done in a transparent way

lists and social media, in collaboration with the VPE. This has the goal of avoiding the overflow of information in the

servers.

8. The Importance of Teamwork a. Some of the biggest problems in the past terms were due to a lack of collaboration inside the Executive Board. Taking

this in consideration, it will be important to work in a dynamic collaboration with the members that are elected and

create a culture of mutual understanding and belief that we are working for the same goals

b. Create with the new EB, team building opportunities during the year, mainly in one before the August Meeting for the

EB elect and in TOM0 and TOM1

c. Push the team forward and be closer to the problems of each official, in order to avoid collision of tasks and burnouts

during the term


2014/2015

d. Create, every 2 months, an anonymous feedback system from the TO to the EB, in order to adjust the necessities of the

TO. This has the goal to provide a concrete look about the reality inside the TO and improve the resolution of possible

conflicts inside the team.

9. A concrete internal and external strategy

a. General

i. Follow-up in the creation of a short and long term strategic planning for the Federation aligned with the

present vision and mission

1. The strategic plan must be built with the collaboration of all the IFMSA structures so that everyone

feels ownership of the plan
